Personality

Pinky was a plump fox who favors golf. He was also Chanticleer's manager in the city. It was revealed later in the movie that he was secretly working for the Grand Duke of Owls. His job was to ensure that Chanticleer never felt the compulsion to return home by convincing him that his friends hate him, making it easy to profit off of Chanticleer's singing skills.

Trivia

He is played by Sorrell Booke which was also his last film role before his retirement and death in 1994

His character is similar to Professor Z who secretly works for his boss Miles Axelrod in "Cars 2".

Also the Sheriff's undergarments are pink like Pinky's shirt.

After watching Chanticler escape it is unknown what became of Pinky, but it very likely he went bankrupt as he said he was ruined. It is also possible his water tower collapsed on him.

Besides talking on the phone, Pinky and the Grand Duke of Owls actually make a brief screen appearence together in Edmond's Mind while Edmond is driving Pinky's car.

Like the Grand Duke of Owls he abuses his closest helper Pinky-Murray the Grand Duke-Hunch.
